This offbeat memoir recounts the odyssey of a sixty-year-old mother
and her seventeen-year-old son who hit the road for his junior
year.
In August, 2002, the pair left St. Louis in a 1987 Volkswagen
van to wander up the Mississippi into Canada, across to
Newfoundland, down through New England, deep into southern Mexico,
ending their journey in the high country of Colorado. This
provocative tale of foibles and family, astonishment, missteps, and
magical moments challenges preconceptions about education, freedom,
and necessities for a good life.
By turns funny, poignant, and heart-warming, "Learn As We Go:
Roadschooling My Son" is about a young man on the brink of
adulthood peering into the world, and a mother insisting on doing
his schooling her way. It is also about survival, relative sanity,
and compassion in very close quarters. Most of all, it is about
having a great time no matter where the road leads.
